The Post and Courier is the main daily newspaper in Charleston, South Carolina. It traces its ancestry to three newspapers, the Charleston Courier, founded in 1803, the Charleston Daily News, founded 1865, and The Evening Post, founded 1894. Through the Courier, it brands itself as the oldest daily newspaper in the South and one of the oldest continuously operating newspapers in the United States. It is the flagship newspaper of Evening Post Industries, which in turn is owned by the Manigault family of Charleston, descendants of Peter Manigault.

It is the largest newspaper in South Carolina, followed by Columbia's The State and The Greenville News.[1] It has newsrooms across the state in Greenville, Columbia, Spartanburg, Myrtle Beach, Hilton Head Island and more.
